Advancing the Interests of Authors Who Want to Serve the Public Good
Notes from a Recent Authors Alliance Workshop: DMCA §1202 and Attribution Standards for AI
On Feb 5, 2026, we hosted a workshop on DMCA §1202 and Attribution Standards for AI. In brief, we wanted to have a conversation about how attribution standards should be developed and implemented in a category of technology that trends toward abstracting (forgetting? obscuring? diluting?) its inputs.
We welcome authors and creators of all kinds and all nationalities who share our mission and are committed to having their work be read, seen, and heard. Our members include writers of fiction and nonfiction, poets, researchers, and journalists.
